Muldrow graduated from Ohio University with Bachelor's in Fine Arts and Magazine Journalism.[3] Immediately following graduation, she worked as a dancer and actor in New York City. While working as a junior editor for Golden Books, she occasionally wrote licensed books for Disney and Barbie.[4] Her first original work, The Happy Book, an interactive novelty book with sensory elements, was published in 1999 by Scholastic.[5] In the same year, Muldrow returned to work at Golden Books as an editor, and planned on creating a series focused on teen girls with fellow editor Bonnie Bader. The series later materialized with Muldrow as the author and Bader as the editor as the Dish series [4]
In 2013, she published Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book, the first book in a series written for adults.[1] She has since published four other titles in the series: Everything I Need to Know About Christmas I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2014), Everything I Need to Know About Love I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2014), Everything I Need to Know About Disney I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2015), and Everything I Need to Know About Family I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2017).[6][7]
Muldrow also edited Golden Legacy: The Story of Little Golden Books,[8] a history of the series by children's literature historian Leonard S. Marcus, which was first published in 2007 and then reissued in 2017.[6] For the 75th anniversary of the Little Golden Book series in 2017, Muldrow and Marcus participated in the Golden Legacy National Author Tour.[9] In 2019, she stepped down as editorial director at Golden Books.[10]
